Brandon Gormley News

The Avalanche have placed Brandon Gormley on waivers.

Gormley was a healthy scratch in the last two games and has been placed on waivers after just 26 games with the Avalanche. He has just one assist on the season and his placement on IR suggests that Andrew Bodnarchuk will remain with the Avalanche. The former 13th overall pick will likely be claimed off of waivers.

Gormley was a healthy scratch in the first five games of the season after being acquired from Arizona before the season started. Tonight he will replace Brad Stuart and play alongside Nick Holden. The 23-year-old was known for his offence in juniors and in the AHL, but has posted just four points (2G / 2A) in 32 career NHL games.

"Your main goal is to make the team, so hopefully I'll stick around," Gormley said.

If Gormley fails to make the team, he will be returned to the Moncton Wildcats, where he should dominate and represent Team Canada at the WJHC. This young two-way defenseman has a bright future whether it begins this year or next.
